Overview
149 °FServing temp 20 minFrom cold 41 ozTray volume 8000 mAhBattery

A lunch box that heats itself. It leaves home cold, runs on its own timer and is hot when you stop. No outlet, no cord, no app: five modes, a timer, and it works the day it arrives.

Why $129. A cold lunch has a price too: the truck stop, the microwave line, the $12 lunch you buy when you give up. Four of those a week and the box has paid for itself in three weeks. US warehouse, 2 to 4 days. 30 days to send it back, one year of cover. Nothing to buy after.

Features & benefits
  • Heats without an outlet. 8000 mAh, one full meal per charge, charged overnight like a phone.
  • 149 °F in about 20 minutes from fridge-cold. The heat wraps the tray rather than pushing up from the base, so the middle comes out as hot as the edges.
  • A timer. It starts on its own, so lunch is ready when you stop rather than when you remember.
  • Five modes and a timer, so a meal from the fridge, one that sat out all morning and one you just want held warm are three settings, not one guess.
  • It charges your phone back once lunch is done.
The five modes
  • Scheduled heating. Set it hours ahead. It starts without you and lunch is hot when you stop.
  • Heating cold food. Straight from the fridge, no thawing, no waiting.
  • Heating room temperature food. For what has been sitting in the bag since morning.
  • Custom heating. You pick the temperature.
  • Keep warm. It holds the meal until your break actually happens.
What’s included
  • The heated box
  • One 41 oz stainless steel inner tray
  • The insulated carry bag
  • The charging cable
  • A fork and a spoon
  • A second stainless tray, free until October 12
Materials

The inner tray is stainless steel. Your food touches steel, never a coating and never plastic warmed with it. The tray lifts out and goes in the dishwasher. The outer shell is molded plastic. It never touches your food.

Care & cleaning

The inner tray lifts out and goes in the dishwasher. Wipe the heated shell with a damp cloth and never submerge it. It holds the battery and the element. The insulated bag opens flat. Hand wash it.

Why we made this

Built for meals far from any kitchen

The break room line, the truck cab with the engine off, the nurse’s station between calls. That is where lunch actually happens, and it is usually cold. So we built one thing that needs no kitchen at all.

What people ask before buying.

Does it need an outlet to heat?

No. It runs on its own battery, 8000 mAh, which heats one full meal per charge. You charge it overnight like a phone. The cable is only for charging, never for heating.

How long does it take?

About 20 minutes from fridge-cold to 149 °F for a normal plate. A dense or very cold dish takes closer to 30, which is why the timer exists. You can set the timer so it starts on its own and the meal is ready when you stop, rather than when you remember.

Can I put it in the dishwasher?

The stainless tray, yes. The heated shell holds the battery and the element, so wipe it with a damp cloth and never submerge it.

How much does it hold?

The tray holds 41 oz, filled the way you would fill a plate at home.

What if I don’t like it?

30 days to send it back. If the box fails in the first year, we replace it. Free US shipping on every order, no minimum.

When will it arrive?

In stock, and it ships in 2–4 business days.

RayPublic review of this unitNo microwave at work
5 out of 5

“I have issues at work where I’m not allowed to use a microwave, so having a battery powered heat warming food element is just what I need.”

Michelle DPublic review of this unitHealthcare and public safety
5 out of 5

“If you work in healthcare or public safety, a scheduled lunch break is as real as a unicorn. This lets you skip the microwave line entirely and eat a hot meal when your schedule finally clears up.”

Tiffany S.Public review of this unitFirefighter household
5 out of 5

“A life saver for my firefighter husband who eats when he can while on duty. Sometimes he gets calls in the middle of eating and comes back to cold food, but not anymore.”

AmadeoPublic review of this unitReheat time
5 out of 5

“My room temperature meal was ready in 15 to 20 minutes, and a refrigerated dish in 30. Food just tastes better when heated rather than microwaved.”

Brittany K.Public review of this unitOn the price
4 out of 5

“It heats food evenly and does a good job of keeping meals warm without needing a microwave or outlet. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is the price point.”
